I’ve been reminded several times over the last week WHY I do what I do.

What do I mean?

Well, one thing that you’ll find as you become more influential, and more powerful in life – is that as your influence, money, power, and reach expand – so do your opportunities.

I remember, for example, the first time I got offered more than $1,000,000 to join a Network Marketing company - and just be a distributor.

(In other words, they wanted to pay me $1,000,000 to recruit, and build a downline under contract)

It was 2010, and I had just started building a new team. I turned it down.

Why?

Because I don’t have an ego about it, didn’t want fake recognition, didn’t need the money, and my integrity is more important to me than what I would have had to sacrifice to take the million.

See, in this business, we do what we do because of a certain vision – and when we act out of alignment with that, we lose ourselves.

What was wrong with taking the cash? Well, nothing, really – except that I didn’t get into this business to be a slave, I got in it to be free.

Contracts like the one I would have had to sign would have enslaved me – like a corporate job, for the next 2 years.

I’d rather live in a van.

I discovered something about myself early on – that after my first $30,000 during the month, I don’t really need much money. I can pretty much travel wherever I want, do whatever I want, hang out with whoever I want…

…whenever I want, for $30,000 a month.

And I also discovered that when you know what you’re doing…

…$30,000 a month is EASY.

So I got really good at turning opportunities down, that truthfully, could make me millions of dollars, but in doing so, inhibit my freedom, my vision, my truth about why I do what I do.

I started questioning everything that came across my desk with one filter:

“Will this help me live MY VISION?Or will it just make me a bunch of money?”

If you look at the top of this site (on the front of the site) – it says: ”Empower Network | Building A Business While Having A Life.”

The reason it says that, is because it’s not just about the money…

…it’s ALSO about the FREEDOM!

What does that mean?

It means YOU being in control.

Most of the time, when you’re a part of a company, you’re not in control of your vision, the owner is. Here, as long as it’s not illegal, we let people do what they want – EVEN if we disagree with it.

Why?

Let me give you an example. The other day, I had a guy put a video up, and I told him that it would probably be in his best interest to take it down, but he could do what he chose.

He left it up, and that’s ok.

Why? People can make their own decisions here. We let people speak their mind, no matter what they feel. We are here to Empower others, and lift them up, not to take away the spark that they have inside.

I didn’t dock his pay, chew him out, or do anything but smile

Why am I telling you this?

Because I want you to be free.

I want you to reach your dreams in life.

I want your power to be restored.

I want you to live in your vision.

And I’ll be there, every step of the way – focused like a dog with his teeth clamped around a T-Bone Steak on my vision, of helping you to be free.

In that, there are certain things that I won’t do.

I won’t recommend every product that comes out.

I won’t hop on the ‘Guru bandwagon‘ just to help you spend money.

Why?

I’m not here for the JV’s, I’m not here to be the riches guy online – I’m here for the people. Period.

I want the richest team.

I know for A FACT that if you’ll do 3 things, I can help you reach your dreams – and be FREE at the same time:

1. Get 2 customers a day to start blogging.

2. Follow the 8 Core Steps in the Fast Start Training.

3. Be in San Diego for ‘Fight The Forces of Evil‘ September 21-23rd.

That’s it.

It works.

If you do it, and focus like an animal…

…I’ll help you reach heights in your business that you’ve never known.

However…

If you’re alway going to hop from strategy to strategy…

…product to product – Guru to Guru.

I can’t help you.

We have enough success here now, that I know something:

This shit works.

Here’s a video shot in Atlanta, where 95% of a room full of 1,250 people had earned a commission with Empower Network:

Disclaimer: Just because a full 95% of people in a room full of 1,250 affiliates had actually earned a commission from Empower Network, doesn’t mean that you will… We publish LIVE, average earnings, updated daily, here: Full Earnings Disclosure.

Here’s a video of me interviewing Tony Rush in Atlanta, at EXACTLY HOW he’s making an average of $1,000 a day with Empower Network… (you won’t believe this)

Just because (as of this blog post) Tony Rush has made $172,874 since November of 2011 – without any prospecting, cold calls, home meetings, hotel meetings, 3 way calls, or ‘grinding‘ of any kind… in less than 2 hours a day (only 1 hour according to his wife) doesn’t mean that you’ll find it that easy, too. See our Full Earnings Disclosure.

Here’s what I’m going to tell you to do:

Focus.

This is your time.

I promise you, I have more opportunities to be distracted than you.

And here I am, telling you…

First, if you ain’t in yet, click here:

Second, FOCUS on getting 2 sales a day.

Third, get to San Diego.

Fourth, follow the 8 core steps.

Can you do that?

I promise, if you do – our lives will never be the same. You’ll do things that you never knew were possible…

…and have a life at the same time.

Let’s lock arms, and Fight the Forces of Evil.

She’s been with us since the beginning… and every single month has been BETTER than the last. Just yesterday…

…she had her FIRST $4,800 day – EVER. Watch the video who learn how:

HOW did she do it?Simple:

She got ‘all in‘, gets 2 customers a day, got her team to the Atlanta Event, and follows the 8 core steps. She’s actually on track to hit over $40,000 this month…

…think she’ll do it?

Leave me your thoughts in the comments.

Tracey, congrats – stick with us, and you know what?

There will come a day, when you DON’T EVEN REMEMBER what it’s like to make less than $5,000 a day

Every day.

Appreciate you!

P.S.Tracey is a PHENOMENAL speaker, and layed it ALL on the line in Atlanta – you’ve got to see this video – THIS was what GOT HER to $4,800 today, live footage from our event…

DISCLAIMER: Just because Tracey Walker made $4,800 in ONE DAY in less than 2 hours of work, doesn’t mean that you’ll make that much money, too… See ourFull Income Disclosure (LIVE stats update every 24 hours – and you know what? I’m damned proud of our AVERAGE. Don’t be a wussy)

Who’s going to be in San Diego?

No pitching. Pure value. To take you to the next level.

Let’s lock arms…

…and FIGHT the FORCES of EVIL.

Leave me your thoughts! We love you Tracey! Thanks for stickng with us through the tough times, it was worth it!

This is one of the most amazing stories of PERSONAL VICTORY I’ve ever heard in my life.

She lies on her side, curled in pain – typing… Look what she’s been able to do:

DISCLAIMER: Just because Cristina Munoz made $33,000 her first 90 days as an affiliate of our products, doesn’t mean that you’ll earn money that quickly, too. You can see average earnings, as well as LIVE income statistics here: Full Income Disclosure.

Powerful.

What’s your excuse?

Cristina Munoz has EVERY REASON in the world to fail…

…except the only one that matters:

She makes it happen.

Period.

Regardless of pain.

Regardless of spinal disease.

Regardless of the fact that she CAN’T SIT for more than 15 minutes…

…here she STANDS:

Victorious.

Share this video with EVERYONE.

The world needs to know – that no matter the struggle – you can create victory.

No matter the pain, you can CREATE POWER.

No matter the excuse…

…here we are:

Victorious.

After watching that video, there’s only one piece of advice that I can give:

P.S. Leave your thoughts in the comments below, and if you’re an Empower Network affiliate, add ?id=username to the end of the link above – post it on your wall on Facebook, email it to your list…

…all traffic, leads, and sales will credit to YOU.

P.P.S.Not only is Tony Rush hilarious, (you should have heard him present at our event in Atlanta) but he also makes gobs, and gobs of money as an Empower Network affiliate – he’s going to be sharing ‘how’ at our San Diego event.

Mack Zidandropped out of high school in the 90′s to pursue the network marketing profession…

…and has made millions of dollars, with all kinds of products, all kinds of companies… without doing home meetings, 3 way calls, or any of the other ‘slave labor‘ activities that make people poor.

Watch this video – especially pay attention to his experience at our last event…

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Just because Mack made an ‘extra’ $94,000 as an affiliate his first 60 days, AND won another $12,000 that we gave him, cash – doesn’t mean that you’ll make that much money, too. We report average earnings, that update LIVE every 24 hours, and you can see it here: Full Earnings Disclosure.

A couple of key points to pull out of this video:

1. Mack hates network marketing events (truthfully – they’re either pitch tests most of the time, or the training can be summed up with ‘pitch Grandma again‘)…

….HOWEVER, he loved our event, and wants to come back to ALL of them, from now on.

Why? Watch the video, and tell me your thoughts.

I agree.

2. Mack made $94,000 in his first 60 days here – without home meetings, cold calls, 3 way calls, or any other traditional nonsense.

3. It’s not how much you make – it’s how much you KEEP.

That might not seem relevant at this stage in your business – but I can personally attest to how easy it is to blow $100,000 without thinking at higher income levels.

Trust us – learn to LIVE beneath your means NOW.

Here’s the funny thing (the untold story) about Mack:

When he got in Empower Network with Chuck Marshall, he messaged me, telling me he can move a lot of people.

Like most people who tell me that, I didn’t pay any attention.

Why?

Because, I’ve learned that there is a MASSIVE difference from what I would call ‘accidental success’ and actually knowing what you’re doing.

For example, I’ve met about 100 people who have made a million (or two) in this profession, they get started in a new company – and they can’t repeat it.

They got in at the right time – in the right place, because of a feeling they had…

…and it worked.

So when Mack said that – my response was ‘sure, let’s see what you got‘.

Next month, I think he brought in 300 people personally.

How?

He knows what he’s doing, and why it works.

Do you?

If you don’t, it’s ok – we’ll help you succeed anyways, if you make a decision, and get all in.

P.S. Here’s a photo of us at our ‘after party’ in Atlanta, at the first ‘Don’t Be A Wussy’ conference in 2012. Why do we party? Because, it’s not just about the money…

…it’s about having a life at the same time. That includes badass parties, cool vacations, and LIVING your dreams. If you enlarge the photo – you’ll see Raven Starre, David Sharpe, and a couple of burly looking ‘Men in Black’ type guys.

They were there to look cool

If you get in Empower Network (click here) I can only make you two promises:

1. We’re the most badass group of people that you’ll ever be in business with in your life.

Sometimes, a video says it best:
